Until we have won It and are out of it, war considerations should prevail. Who should determine the needs of war? Cer tainly those who know most about it. And it is hardly necessary to add that politicians do not know most about it Army men, experts in the war and navy de partments do. WELL, there is a big debate on in Washington as to the drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. The representatives of the army and navy are unani mously in favor of drafting these men. They declare to a man, that unless this action is taken the war effort will be seriously impaired. Certain politicians, many of them like Senator Wheeler of Montana, former rabid isolationists, de clare this is not true. They claim the drafting of these men is not essential and should not be done it is crass militarism gone to seed to claim otherwise. . WHO should be believed Who should be follower!? The army and navy They know what the real needs are. The politicians don't. tirely sincere. But they haven't the knowledge and they haven't the facts. They can't have them. CO a time limit should be set on this debate and the matter put to a vote at the earliest possible moment. With the army and navy, naval departments agreed drafted if the maximum possible, the necessary action should be taken and taken at once. Any other course would mean playing politics with the war effort a course as shameful as it would be disastrous. Why Do War Films Fail? Our special operative in Hollywood reports there is considerable consternation there because of the failure of the super-war films. What is wrong; Millions are being put into col ossal military sets, the best being enlisted and at the but to date there has been scarcely one outstanding BOX-OFFICE success and there is general fear there won t be. On the other hand, musicals and comedies, com pletely divorced from the Khythm and "Heaven Can Wait are playing to S.K.U. signs all over the Can it be the American heart in this war? CILLY question! It is because the American people HAVE their hearts in this war, and pretty much in it all around the clock, that they don't care to also have war ladled out to them in heaping shovel fulls, with ear splitting sound-track accompaniment, whenever they decide to take a few hours off for relaxation and relief. If the war were NOT taken so seriously and were not such a grave concern to can family, no doubt war popular. And if the usual will return to popularity better perspective is obtained, and the national de structive impulse is replaced by a creative one. BUT not now! Main, mi, uuijjr tvuuu, The great war films of the First World Conflict came after the armistice, doubtedly true, during all the preceding U.

It is not the HEARTS of are at fault, but the BRAINS of those who are de termining the policies of the Hollywood movie com panies, during the present conflict.

Germany apparently has the northern half of Italy now pretty well under military control. Jt siio had any good will whatever among the Italian people, it would indeed be a terrific job to dislodge her. But she hasn't.

Calif. THE RED CROSS In a reply to an inquiry made by a layman concerning the technique of the Schafer manu al prone pres sure method of artificial respi ration, the Di rector First Aid Water Safety and Ac cident Preven tion Service nf a chapter o f the American Red Cross said: "Our a u thority for the Dr. Brady teaching of the prone pressure method of arti ficial respiration is Dr. Yandell Henderson and Dr. Drinker . . Various tests have been made at our request by Dr. Hender son and Dr. Drinker regarding the claims of this columnist" The unnamed columnist is non; other than O'Doc Brady. "and we have been advised that there is no reason to change our teachings from what we have been teaching for these many years." I wonder what made the American Red Cross change the teaching of the Jack-knife man euver, which was advised and illustrated in various first aid manuals duly "approved" by the American Red Cross up to 1928' Could the annoying criticisms of the atrocity by the same com umnist have had anything to do with it? "Until our internationally recognized authorities advise us differently we shall rontlnut to teach as we have In the past.' Would the important people of the Red Cross be willing to re veal the identity of the author ity or authorities who advised them differently concerning the jack-knife atrocity? There Is just one error in the technique of the manual prone- pressure method taught by Red Cross instructors, the position of the subject's arms. Schafer. who was surely as good an au thority on his method as any the Red Cross can cite, did NOT advise placing one df the sub ject's hands, wrists or arms un der the subject's head or chin. On the contrary the illustra tions Schafer published with his description of his method showed News Behind The News by Paul Mailon (Continued from Page One) the people after this war that the government will have to maintain their purchasing value to the utmost. Public pressure will see to that. In any event, 'f you put the money in the bank, you will suffer the same results from Inflation, and you will not have the prospect of iialf as much interest as you will get from the government. (Series E pay .93 per cent over the 10-year period, which enhances their value 25 per cent; savings ac counts hereabouts now pay 1.5 per cent.) If you hide your money in a sock in the attic, you get no interest, and the results of infla tion would be just as disastrous In fa.t, it would bi disastrous wherever you put It. www TPHESE bonds are cash. They are money. People do not seem to understand this. They ore the same as dollar bills because they have exactly the same treasury backing and can be transferred to dollars at any time. In effect, they are dollars bearing Interest. If you put your savines in a bank, the banker will buy a bond anyway and get the 2vi per cent or more, while paying you li per cent. For these reasons, every loose dollar held by everybody ought to be In government bonds. It is incomprehensible to me that anyone would 'hoose for any reason to hold cash or money in the bank than to hold a savings bond. e a "VHUS, from cold reasoning this bond drive should reach Into every crevice of idle m ney In this country and put it to productive use both tor the good of the country and the good of the individual citiien.

M. D. DEATH TRAP nothing under the subject' head or chin. When I discussed the question with Dr. Henderson in 1930 he said he was particularly pleased to notice that in my pamphlet on Artificial Respiration I show ed the subject's arms drawn for ward., as that was his (Hender son's) own particular contribu tion to the technique of the Schafer prone pressure method by having the arms drawn forward beyond the head the thoracic cage is pulled into the position of maximum Inspiration and tends to return to this posi tion each time that the expira tory pressure of the operator Is released. . Well and good. Now I wonder just how the Red Cross persuad ed Dr. Henderson to reverse him self about that? Dr. Henderson's own particu lar contribution to the method If Schafer hadn't priority on the point is sound enough. It is sufficiently important in it self to make a change in the Red Cross method Imperative, even if the important people of the Red Cross refuse to acknowl edge their wrong method creates veritable death trap for the victim.

To the editor: The Russian people were told some time ago by the head of a great church that the trouble affliction that Is being visited upon them is a Just punishment',' for their sins. Just punishment! Since there is no reason to believe that the Russian peas ant is any worse than he ever was, or more - lacking in the Christian virtues than the rest of us, It must be assumed that his great sin consists in his giving up of his icon and mechanical prayers -and dis carding a church that had been part and parcel of the old, cruel Tzarist regime, a church that fostered illiteracy and tolerated In its priesthood the unspeak able Rasputin (and no telling how many mora like him) and of which Tolstoi wrote: "The church stands for and has al ways stood for, coercion, intol erance, injustice and cruelty. One wonders whether the Master would have condemned or approved of his doing this. If we can rise to no higher conception of God than a Being made in our "own image we should at least endow Him with all the virtues of the best man who ever lived rather than the qualities of an all-poWerful, ty rannical ruier who, as a punish ment for not obeying his com mands, wreaks a pitiless ven- ceans on all his subjects, sparing neither the good, the helpless, nor the innocent children. One j has only to accept Christ's defi nition of God to know that He could have had no hand in bringing about this war, though the outcome will no doubt be eternal law of the ultimate tri umph of good over evil. No, the nations are not being punished for their sins but for their stupidity in failing to make a success of the international organization for preserving peace that came into being after the last war. It is a truism that the vast majority of people of all nations, with the possible ex ception of Japan, hate war; even the Germans only submitted to the substitution of guns for but ter because they were assured it meant peace, at least for them that Germany, as a result would be so powerful that no nation dare oppose her. Then why do we have wars?. There would seem to be one certain way of preventing them. Let there be an international "ftllis. police force, consisting of bomb ers and fighting planes, each na tion contributing its quota, and let the penalty for invasion be the immediate destruction of the aggressol nation's chief cities. The block-buster will probably turn out to be the chief agent in bringing about permanent world peace. So more power to iti x W. TAVERNER, Ashland, Ore.
